Thats La Peace Original Clip Goes Viral
Kai Cenat soft-says "lapis" on a Minecraft Hardcore stream. The internet hears "la peace" and crowns him a monk.
The original clip is Kai correcting Speed's "diamonds" as lapis lazuli. Edits turn that soft "That's lapis" into "That's la peace."

What it is
Thats La Peace Original Clip Goes Viral is CSI language for people hunting the source moment behind the La Peace meme. It is not a dance. It is a short Minecraft Hardcore exchange between Kai Cenat and IShowSpeed. Speed digs up blue ore he thinks is diamond. Kai calmly says "That's lapis," meaning lapis lazuli. The soft delivery sounds like "la peace." Speed follows with "Is that like some Greek shit?"
The stream bit landed during their multi-day Hardcore run in mid-August 2026. The clip that actually seeded TikTok was @boughta's August 16 edit: the stream audio plus a serene old-man still and a red arrow pinning Kai as the peaceful philosopher. That post passed 4 million views fast and now sits north of 700K likes, with the sound labeled La Peace.
Know Your Meme logged the entry on August 21. Same-day amplify edits from accounts like @hirfyy ("That's la pisse / That's la peace / That's lapis") pushed the audio into crossword jokes, monk overlays, and caption-only "la peace" posts.
What people film now is usually a remake of that edit recipe, not a fresh mining fail. Cut on Kai's line, slap a calm still or peace emoji, and let the mishear do the work. Cleaner "original clip" posts just isolate the stream moment with no monk graphic so searchers can hear lapis vs la peace for themselves. YouTube mirrors labeled "kai cenat la peace (original)" fill that gap when someone wants the raw exchange.
Keep this page separate from Kai's later cosplay / recreate streams and from Speed chat spam reactions. Those are follow-on waves. This CSI phrase is the source clip and the first edits that made it travel.
If you are posting, credit the Hardcore stream context, keep the diamond-to-lapis beat readable in the first second, and use #thatslapeace / #lapeace so the search pack can find you.
How to try it
Pull the Hardcore moment: Speed celebrates diamonds, Kai soft-corrects with "That's lapis," Speed asks if it is "Greek." Keep that three-beat intact so the mishear lands.
For the meme edit, overlay a calm old-man or monk still with an arrow on Kai, or leave the raw gameplay and caption "that's la peace." Cut hard on the audio. Chase the La Peace sound off @boughta's post or a clean original-sound remake.
Search pack: thats la peace original clip, that's la peace, la peace kai cenat, #thatslapeace #lapeace #kaicenat #ishowspeed #minecraft. Do not confuse this with Kai's later real-life La Peace cosplay stream.
